Suppose there in n lonely hinilouiier
ill thin j;em of iiioiinttiin valleys who
would hesitate a moment to avail
liiim-eir of thin opportunity to ueipiiro
his share of the $'.20,000,0011 iuereahe.
SuppoMtj wo simplify the proposi
tion u little by nHHiuiiiiiK that he
own a fiinu of forty news valued
nt $0000. Would he panne lon to
consider the propriety of .joining it
movement at u small individual ctmt,
that would within a reasonable lime
lifter the completion of ItN work re

little farm to f l'J.OOOf
What manner of man is he who
would thus pass up the best, the fore
most, the earnest and topmost ehauee
lie has to insuie his own sueeess?
Does he not know that the Iohsoh
of la nn and oiehnrd eiopn in Huguo

(it least i,")!),))!)!) news, ineludin ev
ery item of expense, from the Mirvey
of sources of Htipply to the cost of
delivery of water to his own farm
floodgate?
Small Value Without Water
It will he seen from the forej;oiiii;
pararapliH that the naked laud is
lierein considered only half of the
value of the real property involved,
the possession of water' necessary to
init.'ale it constituting the other half.
Tlml in a very conservative esliuinte
of the relative values of these two
farm essentials jn this valley. In
homo farm districts in which 1 have
operated us an inipttionist and gen
eral soil iiiuuuKer during the past
twenty years the land would be worth
nhxoliitely nelhiiu: without' artificial
irrigation. Without n developci) pros.
eet of tin ndequnte water supply the
land would bo positively nninarket
idde at any price, Aitificial irriga
tion ipiiekly Kiive it a true value,
rniiKin;,' from $:i()() to tl'JOO per new.
Ilciicc, it will be seen that I hue
Riven the fanu lands of lloftne lliver
valley a Keneroim valuation without
irrigation- -entirely too generous, tn
J'aet, considered in intimate connec
tion uith the iivcmcti iiielruroloejenl
rendition'! hew in a period eovennir
three to five yearn. Two yearn: iiko,
for instance, valley producer hnrel.v
"ot by." I,iist year, on account of
the drouth, the nvenii:i icmiII, eover
injf more than J.10,0011 news, showed
ii loss. This year, for the same len
ou and because of lack of irrigation
facilities, Hie loss will be lamentably
greater.
A "promoter," interested only in
"lettlnj: nu" at jjood-tiiiie priees,
Mould eoueoal tliis fact, but I urn not
a promoter of that class. The other
fellow should bo lorbiddcu the piiv
ilee,o to "promote" in any tenitoty.
The. I'ai'iner Wauls Pacts
In this state of affairs fact i
what the farmer wauls. The exist
ence of one iiupoitant fact should
now bo indellibly iuipreshod on his
iniiid, namely, that fanning in Ifinjne
Jtiver valley without irrigation is not
an alluring spoculatiou, OoinpunMin
of his losses with his gains during the
jiat frw years indubitably attest that
fact. If he be honest with himself,
lio doubt is left in bis mind as to the
imperative need of ample artificial
ineaiis of suMniiiinu his crop growth
during at IcuM three or lour months
of the year. Hi farm soil may luixe
contained every element of fertility,
but dearth of available plant fond be
caiibti of lack of the necessary mois
ture to release it eaiued the major
jioitiou of his crops to die of starv
ation. Those portion of hi- field
and omlinrd yields that MrujjKled
through the season to imperteet mu
turity wore crippled in form mid
tori'ily devoid of (piality.
The sincere iigiicnltltiit ennnot
jmtienlly endure this hurt of bum
iiustt. If ho began with a bunk ac
count this misfortune, noiiHiiiiu'd it.
If he were impelled to faithful etlort
by the hope of ownling" one, his
prayer was binothewd in the and
mulch of his sunburnt field..
Such a condition canuot hi made
to conduce to the development of op
timism on the farm.
Wlmt Are the I'lgiuvsV
Ih there a fruitgrower in cent rat
Rogue River valley who did not eag
erly grasp (he first feasible scheme
to prevent the destruction of Ins
crops by frost 7 Does he not tnditv
legard the smudge as absolutely in
disM'iisable to his success
Hut before the smudge pots weie
installed extensively the fraitist ob
tained knowledge of the cost and ef
ficiency of that system of piotec
tion. He discovered that in propor
tion to its value us a safeguard Its
cost would be inconsiderable in com
parison with the losses he might sus
tain without it, in a given period.
TIhih it will be in the matter o t'ir
ligatiou. The fanner certainly know
what their losses are without- it. In
addition to iiscertainiug what their
gains will be with it, they must know
the probable cost of installing an
adequate H.ysteiu, together with the
cost ol operating and maintaining it.
When these estimates shall have been
i pleased for publication, public eu
timeiit will not require u prolonged
period of erystnllmtlioii in favor of
a unitized system of irrigation that
will cover every arable aeie in the
valley.
ftoiuiion oi (lie problem ol pre
venting Iohh of crops by drouth is
practically as simple as that of pie
venting loss hy frost. Its initial cost
will, of course, be much greater, hut
the annual expense of maintenance
will be much less. The smudge was
intended primarily to protect only the
fruits, while irrigation will proleet ev
ery genu of domestic plant life cov
ered by the system.
IioMii(ant n Soil .Miiiiiigciuciit.
'Another important element of ad
vantage in systematized irrigation
will be found to bo the ease and ef
fectiveneurt with which the fanner can
give to his soils the proper treatment.
J he I'aeifiu const agriculturist who
depoutls, primarily mid finally, on the
agency of heavenly downpours for
first aid in the seientitie manage
ment of his soils is, indeed, unl'oi lun
ate. Kven in the Willamette valley,
where rains are too frequently ex
cessive duting the period of ciop
growth, tho fanners are installing
extensive irrigation systems for tho
better development of their soils and
tho protection ol their crops, 'they
find that it returns them big divi
dends on their investment, both in
added abundance of yield and quality
of products.
Diversified fanning yields excel
lent returns where climatic and mar
lid conditions are favorable. Jn that
method of fanning irrigation is found
to he partieuhiily advantageous and
profitable, l'laut growth on one pint
of the fanu may he a glutton for wa
ter during its eariy development,
while that on another pint i,f the
farm requires much less. The fanner
saves both bis soil and the glowing
crop in the latter case by giving it
just what it needs, while he slakes
the thirst id' the Conner by releasing
plant food us rapidly as the crop can
consume it.
Thus the nianager of the diversitied
fann may defy the pluvial indiffer
ence of the rain god or, on the con
trary, cheek the flood of his over
done beneficence .for his irrigation
canals and laterals seivc as couduiU
for drainage purposes.
Wlilrh of I he Two?
The question among die f.uniers
and fruitists of Rogue River vullcv
'incut the problem of Iitikuuoii
should not be, "Will it pay" On the
contrary, n suouiii lie, "How can we
hasten the installation of an adequate
irrigation system?"
Irrigation throughout the valley -preferably
in a cluster of units- will
not only double the yield per aeie in
n nivoii lei in of your but, properly
applied, it will vastly improve the
quality of every product of the fann
and thus enhance its price, It uili

MKRI.IN, Sept. (I, via Loudon. :()
in. After impliedly expressing
lissatisfaclioii at the message con
veyed by Ambassador on llenistorff
to the Washington authorities, a
three-column editorial in the Vos
siche Zeitung declares:
"Complete unanimity reigns in
(loruiutiy in the wish to maintain un
altered peace between Ucrlin and
Washington. Ambassador Von Hern-
storft's cxnliiiiatioii must not be
taken either as an admission of any
guilt or an indication of fear or
weakness.
"It must be leileraled that (he tor
pedoing of the Lusilania, no matter
how Jiimentahlc from u huiiiauita-nn
Inudpoiiit, left no stuiu upon (Jer
niiiny's honor.
"It must also be specifically
pointed out that submiiiiue warfare
against merchant vessels will now,
as foinierly, be carried out.
"Our admissions to America have
icstrietioiis. Our agreement counts
only in case llritish passenger
steamers do not try to harm our sub
marines. If (Ireat Mritaiu in the fu
ture believes it will be possible to
deal lightly with the lives of Ameri
can citizens she will have to hear the
consequences as before..
"Through our step we have proved
to Americans in the most loyal way
how highly we value the relations ex
isting between tlicm mid us, it is
sureiy known in the United States
Unit even a declaration of war by
America against (Icrinauy could no
longer do real harm to the German
cause.
"The Clritish press, is attempting to
idler the case to make it appear that
(luriimuy's move was imide with an
intention to win the American presi
dent us a peace agent. We do not
knpw whether Piesidcnt Wilson bus
this thought. Likewise we cannot
prevent the pope, through Cardinal
